First impressions on the Muhle Rocca:
I'd say its one of the hardest razors I've used. I struggled to find and keep the cutting angle.
I used three different blades, one for each pass.
I started with the Astra. I didn't find it very smooth and there was a lot of stubble left after the first pass.
Changed the blade to the Polsilver for the second and again not very smooth.
Changed the blade again to the Gillette Platinum which improved things a lot.
I needed two passes ATG to get a finish I was happy with.
The finished shave was good but there were a couple places which could've been better.....To be continued.
Cheers
